Deluxe Rotary Coax Coaxial Cable Stripper Cutter Tool RG58 RG6 RG59 Quad, Dual

Easy to use and set stays set well (could be better on that) overall a great investment and a great unit. Fast and easy vs most strippers or cutters.

Easy to use and sturdy built

You need to adjust the blade, first blade cuts down to the center, without cutting or nicking the copper center. second cut is through the black jacket but does not cut any strands of the braid, I adjust it to cut 90% deep and use my fingernail to pull off the jacket. You may have to re-adjust the tool if you switch brands of cable as the thickness can vary slightly. Practice on some scrap cable to learn how to do it. Fold strands of braid back over the jacket. Un-twist any strands that are around the center conductor, pull them back. Don't let any braid strands touch the center conductor, it will cause a short. Make sure all the strands fold over the jacket and don't bunch up.Good tool for the price for occasional home use, but a pro installer might want a higher end more precise tool. I have a ratcheting compression tool made by Steren with Perma-seal 2 compression connectors.

This tool works excellent ! My "only" complaint on it, is that the blade that cuts the jaacket to expose the "braid" should have been moved to the next "outer" slot allowing more braid to be exposed. Yes, i know it can be taken "apart".... but i shouldn't have to do that out of the package. Hence the loss of 1 star.

While some may dislike this basic coax cable stripper, I use it for different kind of network cables and it works flawlessly once properly set. I actually have several ones, each identified and ajusted to a specific cable model. I have also use it with some coax cable with great success. Just take a few minutes to properly adjust it.
